Most Texans know they could switch and save, but three worries keep them on an old plan. Here is how each one is handled.
Many customers start Ambit service with no deposit based on a quick credit check. If a deposit does apply, Ambit offers flexible and split-deposit options, with same-day start available.
A current Ambit promotion reimburses your previous provider's early-termination fee as a bill credit of up to $250 when you switch to a featured fixed-rate plan with a 12-month or longer term. Conditions apply; confirm current terms at enrollment.
Switching never turns your lights off. Your local delivery utility keeps delivering power to your home, and Ambit handles the switch behind the scenes.
Ambit does not promise zero deposit for everyone. Whether you owe a deposit depends on the credit check.
This is a current Ambit promotion; conditions apply, and you should confirm current terms at enrollment. Customers switching from TXU, Express, 4Change, Veterans, and Tri-Eagle are not eligible for the reimbursement.
Texas lets you pick your retail provider. The friction of switching is usually what stops people. Ambit takes that friction away.
